It is often leaving my LAN, because I am often on the road with my laptop. And it is not the lan interface important, but the wifi interface. But this is not the main point: I can change the MAC manually when I must or want. And my person is not the goal, I am thinking of the people, which wan

macchanger - will not change MAC at boot

2025-03-18 Thread Hans
Hi folks, maybe I missed something, but during install I can chose, if macchanger will change the macaddress, whenever a network interface comes up. As this happens during boot, too, I wondered, why I instead get still the original macaddress. Is this just a bug, or do I have to add extra scri
